概括

婴儿的B组链球菌 (GBS) 感染往往导致严重的结果,如脑膜炎和ICU入院. 然而,没有特定的GBS遗传特征预测了这些严重病例,这表明宿主因素是关键.

科学领域:

微生物学微生物学
基因组学就是基因组学.
传染性疾病传染性疾病

背景情况:

乙组链球菌 (GBS) 是导致婴儿脑膜炎和严重新生儿感染的首要原因.
包括脑膜炎和重症监护室 (ICU) 入院在内的严重GBS疾病的遗传基础尚不清楚.
晚发病 (LOD) 和非常晚发病 (VLOD) 之间的基因组差异尚未明确定义.

研究的目的:

为了研究来自婴儿的侵入性GBS分离物的基因组特征.
确定GBS基因组特征,毒性因子和脑膜炎或ICU入院等临床结果之间的潜在关联.
为了比较导致LOD和VLOD的GBS分离物的基因组概况.

主要方法:

从儿科病人的87个侵入性GBS分离物的全基因组测序.
与全球GBS样本进行比较基因组分析.
统计建模以评估隔离基因组学,临床特征和疾病严重程度之间的关系,根据人口结构进行调整.

主要成果:

超病毒性克隆CC17/cpsIII和CC23/cpsIa占主导地位.
所有分离物具有潜在的疫苗点,对青素/万科米辛敏感;观察到对红红素 (38%) 和克林达米辛 (29%) 的耐药性.
没有特定的GBS基因组特征或已知的毒性因子预测了ICU入院或脑膜炎;LOD和VLOD分离物显示了最小的基因组区别.

结论:

婴儿GBS疾病经常需要ICU入院和脑膜炎,但病原体基因组学无法预测这些严重的结果,涉及宿主因素.
LOD和VLOD之间的临床和基因组相似性表明它们目前的分类可能是任意的,影响监测和治疗策略.

关键词:

接受ICU治疗的患者细菌基因组学是一种细菌基因组学.B组链球菌链球菌婴儿侵袭性疾病是婴儿侵袭性疾病.晚期发病的疾病.

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...
